RIP Gene Hackman - Page 3

I'd read the script for it some time ago, though.
The boat circling at the end wasn't in it.
Nice touch, probably would've been a cool surprise for somebody.

Randy Quaid says he's certain that they were murdered and the bodies were staged. He said it was the same group of people that murdered Heath Ledger. He has some prime suspects but he's not ready to name them yet.

It’s generally how one person in a family gets stuck caring for an elderly person. Do I sound bitter? Let’s just say I’m all too familiar with this scenario.

This is sad, but it's reality.

My dad died a year ago today, I physically visit or talk to my mom every day because she needs it. We do all her house chores that she can't do herself and my daughter does her lawn.

My brother goes weeks without even speaking to her.

Watched "Under Suspicion" this weekend because it was on Netflix. Definitely not his best movie, but pretty wild that him and Morgan Freeman could create a decent film basically in one room for the entire thing.

That’s not weird at all. Do you know what an Australian Kelpie is? One could easily be mistaken for a younger German Shephard by someone who isn’t an expert in canines.

Yeah seems like something minor. They’re not trained for know breeds.

Hopefully they release the cause soon so people can stop speculating.

At least they didn't use the wrong pronouns for the dog. That would have been unforgivable.

Just a sad story all around

Did the AP just need something to write about the investigation that they make a big deal about the dog’s breed? What a nothing burger.

Reports that he died of heart disease and his wife died of a virus, but his wife was dead for a week before him.

How do you not realize she was dead for a week?

Yes. They said she died of Hantavirus. That is virus is no joke. I've spent time in desert areas where they have Hanta and that's the most paranoid I've been about washing my hands and not touching my face.

The police are saying that Gene had advanced Alzheimer's and that's probably why he didn't find his wife's body or notice she was gone. And without her there to take care of him and making sure he was taking medications he couldn't survive too long.

Yeah I just heard he had Alzheimer's, so that makes a lot more sense. Sad situation.

Makes sense. He was 95 and health fading.

Still not as weird as Randy Quaid's theory.

Yeah that’s not weird either. He was 95 with advanced Alzheimer’s.

According to reports Hackman left his entire $80 million fortune to charity and left nothing to his kids. Ouch! They must have been terrible to him.

F them kids!

Just watch French Connection for the first time.
Good movie.

I assume it was groundbreaking in 1971
It’s cool to think so many cop movie trips originated with FC.

Hackman definitely had swagger.

French Connection is a great movie but it was using a lot of influence from the Film Noir movies of the 40s and 50s which is where that all originated.

Given that he was dead for more than a week before anyone knew it, they clearly didn’t keep in contact with him.

Means less than nothing. He probably already gave them money.
